Thanks to Mr. Duphily’s continual interest in keeping me grounded and in my opinion his outstanding ability to persevere in the face of today’s overwhelming mediocrity in numerous related venues and arenas I’m happy to say I live to take my next breath. Thanks for keeping the veterans (anyone who was ever borrowed or enlisted in/by a DOD department) in the narrow beam of light.
